Rainbow and Coffee
Applejack hummed to herself as she carried the basket of apple tarts in her mouth. She knew they were Twilight's favourite and thus would be the perfect thank you gift. Yesterday, Twilight had helped Applejack remove a dead tree that needed to go. Normally it would have taken all day, but Twilight's magic made the task only take half the time
It was still early in the morning, but knowing Twilight, she had probably gotten up as soon as the sun rose. As Applejack approached the door though, she heard shouting.
"Yahoo! This is awesome!"
Applejack blinked, she knew Twilight was a morning person, but she wasn't normally this lively. Curious, Applejack put the basket on the step and opened the door. "Hey, sorry for the intrusion-"
A blue blur dove past right above her head. Applejack stumbled backwards as the blur flew straight up to the ceiling. "What in tarnation?"
"Applejack, are you okay?" Twilight asked as she helped her back up.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Applejack replied, staring at the blue blur. "But what the heck is that?"
" I feel so ALIVE!" the blue blur cried.
Applejack blinked. "Rainbow Dash?"
Twilight sighed, shaking her head. "I don't know what happened, one minute she's fine and asking me if I had any books with new flying tricks she could do and the next minute she's flying around like crazy."
The blue blur that was Rainbow suddenly went into a zig zag pattern. "Awesome! Now I'll do it backwards!"
Twilight went back to her table and flipped through the pages of a book. "I've looked through every book I can think of. Maybe Zecora can-"
"Twilight, by any chance did Dash drink coffee?"
Twilight stared puzzled. "Um, yes." She pointed towards the two cups that lay deserted on the side table.
"Ah," Applejack replied with a nod. "There's the culprit alright."
"Ha, ha!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "I bet I could do an indoor sonic rainboom."
"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked staring into the half empty cups.
Applejack patted her shoulder. "It's not your fault Sugar Cube, there's no way you could have known."
"Known what?"
"I'm never coming down!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
"See," Applejack began. "Rainbow won't admit it, but caffeine doesn't sit well with her. Last time she drank a cup of coffee, she kept circling Ponyville for three days straight."
"Just from drinking coffee?" Twilight asked in disbelief. She was about to argue more, but Rainbow Dash's somersault cut her off. "Okay, I believe it. So, what do we do?"
Applejack stared at the cup. "How much did she drink?."
"Half a cup."
"Ah, no worries then," Applejack replied with a smile. "If she had drank a whole cup she would be doing this till night fall, but with half a cup she should be crashing about..."
The blue blur froze in midair and dropped to the floor. For the first time in hours, Twilight could clearly see a wobbly Rainbow Dash.
"Now," Applejack finished.
"That, was cool," Rainbow Dash replied. "Hey Twilight, can you pour me another cup."
"After I make some decaf."
